J-Card Comment NOTE: Here's an upload you don't see every day. This is a charming and great set by Melanie (Safka). Quite simply she is one of the most dynamic and accomplished singer/songwriters, well up there in quality with Sandy Denny and Earth Song/Ocean Song-era Mary Hopkin. Possessing a great flair for songwriting and a voice of both subtlety and stunning power, this solo gig is certainly worth a download. I highly recommend the impeccably chosen (and mastered by Fripp/Singleton!) "Beautiful People: The Greatest Hits of Melanie" (however "Bitter Bad" didn't make the cut - check out the sample).

VENUE: (poss) Long Beach Arena, L.A. (poss) 2/2/73 ; Air date: In Concert #7 2/3/73 (WRIF-FM Detroit)


NOTE: Assuming the Melanie and Guess Who are from the same venue - From Dime's gv0000: "I tried to do some research on the date and venue. The newspaper TV listing said it was from Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. However the only Guess Who I could find in LA was Long Beach Arena on 2/2/73. The only NY show I could find was 2/5/73 at the Philharmonic Hall."
